The Promotion of Rahab’s Fame –
By every human measure, Rahab’s name should have been forgotten forever. But, by God’s grace, Rahab became one of God’s heroines and was included among the harlots who now reside in the Father’s house in heaven. After the destruction of Jericho, Rahab integrated with the Israelites and married a Jewish man, Salmon, one of the two spies she had sheltered in her home.
In time, she gave birth to Boaz, who married Ruth, who gave birth to Obed, the father of Jesse; the father of David, through whose lineage Jesus was born. By God’s grace, Rahab, the harlot, became King David’s great-great, grandmother and King Jesus’ 35th great-grandmother.
